Gildemeister Wins Tender For Flow Storage System

Gildemeister energy storage GmbH has won a tender for electrochemical flow storage systems with top marks in quality and price.

Terna SpA, Europe’s largest transmission grid operator, tendered a pilot project aimed at making it easier to integrate the growing proportion of renewable energy into grid management. Terna SpA is integrating storage systems to evaluate their potential to improve grid stability.

A number of manufacturers of redox flow batteries were considered during the evaluation process, and three of them reached the pre-qualification phase. After a tendering process that lasted one and a half years, the consortium consisting of Gildemeister energy storage GmbH and its partner Green Utility from Rome won first place and was tasked with supplying two large CellCubes.

Gildemeister’s offer achieved the highest number of points in the price and quality categories. The two CellCubes used in the project are based on vanadium redox flow technology and have a rated output of 400 kW and a capacity of 1,120 kWh. Vanadium redox flow technology enables Gildemeister’s CellCube to quickly deliver clean, emission-free energy at all times. It ensures a dependable, constant energy supply, even when renewable sources are used.

The use of vanadium salts increases the reliability and service life of the battery. They are non-flammable, non-explosive and not subject to loss of reactive material. This provides practically unlimited cyclisation with up to 80% efficiency and a deep-discharge capability of 100%.

The system is scheduled to be put into operation in July 2016, and final approval is expected for September this year.

Combining solar panels with batteries to keep electricity flowing when the sun isn't shining has long been the target for companies dabbling in the emerging technologies of the power grid.

This year is seeing more development in that space than ever before, thanks to falling battery and solar prices, the marketing prowess of super-entrepreneur Elon Musk, and national and international clean-energy and climate-change policies.

The clean-energy boom is about to be transformed. In a surprise move, U.S. lawmakers agreed to extend tax credits for solar and wind for another five years. This will give an unprecedented boost to the industry and change the course of deployment in the U.S.

The extension will add an extra 20 gigawatts of solar power—more than every panel ever installed in the U.S. prior to 2015, according to Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF). The U.S. was already one of the world's biggest clean-energy investors. This deal is like adding another America of solar power into the mix.
